Advice on FF a 10 month old

[Incubator]

Hi.

I hope you don't mind me gatecrashing this section but I really need some advice...

I've exclusively BF up until now but have PND and my doc has recommended I stop BF and go on to FF but I've no idea where to start and I'm really hoping some of you lovely ladies will be able to help. My LO is almost 10 months and I don't know how much formula I should be giving her each day or which formula to start her on. We're in the process of weaning and she eats three meals a day but still has 6 or 7 breast feeds everyday. I give her water with her meals.

Thanks in advance.

Hi
My LO is 8 months old and over the last few weeks ive started to wean her on to formula. We use cow&gate 3 follow on milk , i just started with one bottle a day at one of her midday feeds , somes times she would only drink a couple of oz but as time has gone on she drinks more, and over the space of about a week she now has 3 or 4 bottles a day . I still BF when she wakes in the night and she will still have a few really small BF in the day for comfort . I think babies at thier age should drink about 20 oz a day .I dont think my LO drinks this much so try I to give her a bit extra in her food .
Well done for breast feeding for 10 months thats a massive achievement and hope you feel a bit better soon xx

Thanks so much for the advice, I really appreciate it.

I want to introduce formula slowly like you did so hopefully she'll get used to the change.

Thanks for sharing your experiences of it.
